Volkan Oezdemir’s leg kicks did some serious damage to Aleksandar Rakic’s leg.
The two squared off in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN+ 23 in Busan, South Korea, in a back-and-forth scrap. But it was Oezdemir’s brutal leg kicks that made the difference, slowing Rakic’s movement and causing a massive welt on his left leg.
A welt so big that it look like Rakic had another knee.
Kudos to Rakic for fighting through that, but it was Oezdemir who got the nod via split decision, notching his second straight win.
And having recently been on the wrong end of a split decision to current UFC light heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes, Oezdemir wants that back.
In no time.
